A few days ago during Gamescom 2018, Retro-Bit finally showed off its more finalized versions of its SEGA Saturn and SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive controllers that will be coming out by the end of the year. On this episode of SEGA News Bits we will go over the design changes, pricing and discuss our feelings on the upcoming controllers. Let us know what you guys think of the newly re-revealed Retro-Bit SEGA Saturn and SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive controller designs in the comments below! Check out more high resolution photos over at SEGA-Mag!

I just watched your video and you said that couldn’t find any feedback about these controllers but Shenron on Sega-Mag did manage to get his hands on these controllers.
He said that they really feel like originals even though he could only hold the controllers, not play with them.
However, he was not convinced by the Bluetooth version with analog sticks and found it akward but he was told that it was a prototype and some issues should be fixed by the time it’s released.

-They’re selling a Bluetooth receiver for the original console.
-The only Bluetooth controller is the one with analog sticks.
-Why would I want a controller with analog sticks for the original console??

I hope they make a normal Bluetooth controller, but this looks bad. Hopefully 8bitdo will make their own controller and receiver soon. Retrobit only made a Bluetooth pad on the past, and the board was 8bitdo’s (Retrobit put the shell). They have zero experience in Bluetooth controllers and it’s becoming noticeable.

Why can’t Sega handle these things right? It’s frustrating setting how your beloved company screws it again and again >_<
